20 owners enter horses in the Derby.
10 are there to win at all costs. Meaning the likelihood of a troubled trip and not hitting the board.
4 or 5 are there to hit the board for the minor $ awards. Meaning avoiding all trouble, sit 15-20 lengths back and make a determined run for 3rd/4th/5th.
And then you get the token 4 or 5 who have zero chance at staying within 15 lengths of the winner, but are there because the owner just wants to be there.
IMO, this is why you so often see many prices in the 3rd/4th holes at the Derby...
